Terms of Service

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of PirateSERP’s SaaS application and related tools. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you act for a business or client, you must have authority to do so. You must have legal capacity to enter this agreement.

The Subscription & Billing Policy and Refund & Cancellation Policy form part of these terms. The Privacy Policy explains our handling of personal information. Specific purchase or LTD offer terms continue to apply to that offer; nothing here removes mandatory legal rights.

2. Your account and access

Provide accurate information, verify your email, and protect your sign-in credentials and provider keys. You are responsible for authorized activity through your account and should tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Do not sell, share, or transfer access in a way that bypasses account or subscription restrictions.

Paid features require an active subscription or a valid access grant. Owner-granted LTD and complimentary access follow the original offer or invitation; they do not enroll you in recurring billing. Only the PirateSERP owner manages LTD grants and invitations. Staff access is assigned for administration and can end when that role ends.

3. Tools and third-party providers

PirateSERP offers research, content creation, search and AI visibility tracking, site auditing, analytics, and related SEO workflows. Features, supported models, data coverage, and provider availability may change. We may apply reasonable limits to protect service operation and prevent abuse.

Some tools use included platform data, while others use credentials you supply or authorize for services such as OpenRouter, Google Gemini, Google services, or Bing Webmaster Tools. You authorize us to use those credentials for the features and scheduled tasks you configure. You are responsible for provider charges, permissions, quotas, and terms. Removing an API key from PirateSERP does not revoke it at its issuer; revoke compromised keys with the provider. Disconnecting a Google Web Analytics account attempts to revoke that authorization with Google.

External services have their own terms and privacy practices. We cannot guarantee their continued availability, pricing, or accuracy.

4. Your content and AI output

You retain your rights in the material you submit, including project data, website content, prompts, and drafts. You grant PirateSERP permission to store, process, transmit to relevant service providers, and display that material as needed to provide the features you use. You must have the rights and permissions needed for content and client data you submit.

AI output and research results may contain mistakes, omissions, outdated information, or material similar to another user’s output. Review facts, rights, originality, and suitability before publishing or relying on them. We do not guarantee rankings, traffic, revenue, legal compliance, or exclusive ownership of generated material.

Profile details, contributions, and content you choose to publish through public features may be visible to others. Keep confidential or sensitive information out of public profiles and published material.

5. Acceptable use

Use the service lawfully and respect other people’s rights. Do not:

• Access accounts, sites, credentials, or data without authorization; bypass security, payment, or usage restrictions; or disrupt the service.
• Use auditing, crawling, publishing, or integration features in violation of applicable law or the target service’s rules.
• Upload malware, send spam, impersonate another person, or publish unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, or deceptive content.
• Resell platform access without permission or misuse provider credentials and shared infrastructure.
• Create self-referrals, fake accounts, manipulated transactions, or misleading affiliate promotions.

6. Subscriptions and cancellation

The current Pro plan is $100 USD per month plus applicable tax; checkout specifies the amount and interval for your purchase. Subscriptions renew until canceled. Use Account Settings → Subscription → Manage subscription for new SaaS billing, or the previous store for legacy billing. See our billing policy for provider fees, payment failures, and LTD access, and our refund policy for refund eligibility. No trial or refund guarantee applies unless offered or required by law.

7. Affiliate program

You can apply through the Affiliates page in your existing account when applications are open. Participation requires approval and acceptance of the displayed program version. Approval does not guarantee earnings or a fixed payout date.

The current program offers 30% commission on eligible recurring subscription revenue actually paid for a valid referred customer. Discounts, taxes, unpaid or zero-cash invoices, and free LTD access do not earn commission. A referral must meet the program’s eligibility and attribution rules before payment; previous purchases are not automatically backfilled. Your dashboard shows the applicable program terms and recorded earnings.

Each commission has its own 60-day hold from payment. At least $100 USD in available earnings is required for payout review. Held, reserved, previously paid amounts, and refund or dispute adjustments affect availability. The owner reviews and authorizes payouts; transfers are executed separately and recorded in the app. You must provide an accurate payment contact or provider reference, not bank login details. You are responsible for taxes applicable to your earnings.

Refunds and disputes may reduce or reserve commission before or after a payout, and later adjustments can reduce future available earnings. Reaching 60 days does not make a commission immune to a later reversal. Suspension stops new referrals and payouts while existing valid referrals continue to accrue subject to review and adjustments. Financial records can remain after account deletion so obligations can be reconciled.

Clearly disclose that you may earn a commission near your referral links and recommendations. Do not make false claims, send unsolicited spam, bid or advertise in a way that impersonates PirateSERP, or imply employment or authority to bind us. We may reject or suspend participation for abuse. Material program changes are communicated to affected participants; each recorded commission retains its payment-time rule snapshot.

8. Platform ownership

PirateSERP and its licensors retain rights in the platform’s software, design, and branding, subject to applicable open-source licenses. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive right to use the service for its intended purposes while your access is valid and you comply with these terms. This does not transfer ownership of our platform or override rights in your content.

9. Availability and termination

We work to keep the service available but do not promise uninterrupted operation or a service-level agreement unless separately agreed in writing. Maintenance, provider outages, and security measures may interrupt access. Keep your own copies of important work.

We may restrict or end access for material breaches, unlawful activity, nonpayment, or risks to the service or others, subject to applicable law and any specific purchase commitments. You may cancel billing or request account deletion. Cancellation is not immediate deletion; records may be retained for the reasons described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Warranties and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of third-party data or generated output.

To the extent permitted by law, PirateSERP is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or lost profits or revenue arising from use of the service. These exclusions do not apply to liability or consumer protections that the law does not allow us to exclude.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify PirateSERP against third-party claims arising from your unlawful use, infringement through your content, or breach of these terms. This does not require indemnification for our own unlawful conduct.

11. Governing law and updates

California law governs these terms, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and subject to mandatory protections that apply where you live. No provision requires you to give up a right that cannot be waived under applicable law.

We may update these terms and will identify the revised date. We will provide notice of material changes and obtain consent where required. Updates do not retroactively remove rights tied to a completed purchase. If you do not agree to an update, you can stop using the service and cancel future renewal charges.
